Biggest blowouts in each class.
1A: 77-0; Raceland vs. Betsy Layne.
2A: 63-0; Beechwood vs. Holy Cross (Covington).
6A: 63-0; Trinity vs. Marshall County.
5A: 50-0; Fredrick Douglass vs. Great Crossing.
3A: 49-0; Elizabethtown vs. Thomas Nelson.
4A: 44-0; Central vs. Shelby County.

They need to go back to the top 2 in each district. I honestly was a fan of cross bracketing, it didn’t eliminate the blowouts, but you’ve got me wondering if there were fewer last year. Even if there wasn’t, it’s much more enjoyable to blow a team out you’ve never played, than the same one again. Plus we got to hear from FatPat when corbin played KCC haha.

I’d be fine with the top two though. Or heck even 3 with a bye. Break it up as East and west. Seed it from top to bottom and let it roll..... might make for a little more traveling, but over all you’d have less because of fewer teams.
